Staying True to God’s Word

“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-5 (ESV)

As Followers of Christ, it’s essential that we’re prepared at all times to bring His Word and message to those around us.  As we see the world around us drift further and further from God’s Truth, and people “adjust” Scriptural meaning to suit their own desires, we’re called to remain committed to Jesus’ teachings, and to patiently share His message of love and hope with others.
